James Bridges

 

James began interning at Q Division in January of 2014, and has only left the building a couple of times since. As you can tell, this has allowed James to perfect Egon von Furstenberg’s Power Look, which is described in detail in a book by the same title. Occasionally we’ve been able to get James not to use the Roland Space Echo while recording drums.

Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the BMA’s - we’re lucky and grateful to our incredible engineers, producers, musicians, and interns (a top notch crop from 2015 seen here!), who - through their love of music and musicians - all come together to make recording at Q the special experience it is. Can’t wait to see what 2021 brings and to get together in person again. Be safe everyone!

A few weeks ago we took delivery of Mitch Easter’s Chamberlin M1. With analog tapes that are a time capsule from a forgotten era, this magical machine has the sounds of vibes, female voices, male voices, cello, harpsichord, violins, flutes, and french horns... 
We have a bit of an embarrassment of riches of analog tape samplers at Q, but as you might know or can guess, these beasts are incredibly temperamental and not always on their best behavior, but when they're working well there's nothing quite like these incredible machines.
